Joan Laporta’s advisor Enric Masip has confirmed his belief that Barcelona now possesses the financial and institutional strength to secure a world-class striker this summer.
Masip, a key advisor to Barcelona President Joan Laporta, has significantly bolstered expectations that the club will pursue a world-class striker in the near future.
During a recent interview, Masip expressed immense confidence in the club’s improving financial health and its ability to compete for the biggest names in football once again.
His comments suggest that the Blaugrana are finally moving past the restrictive “salary cap” era that has hampered their recruitment for years.
The optimism surrounding a marquee signing is linked to the club’s imminent return to the 1:1 rule in La Liga, which allows for greater spending freedom.
While Robert Lewandowski continues to perform at a high level, the hierarchy is reportedly looking at long-term successors to lead the line.
Masip emphasized the club’s restored prestige, stating, “I have no doubt” when asked if Barcelona could successfully move for a top-tier goalscorer in the upcoming market.
While names like Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyökeres have frequently appeared in transfer rumors, Masip’s remarks confirm that these ambitions are now backed by internal belief rather than just speculation.
The advisor noted that the institution’s global appeal remains a decisive factor for elite players.
As the club prepares for a full return to the renovated Spotify Camp Nou, the board appears determined to mark the occasion with a statement signing.
